Let's say i have two .wav sound files; they are exactly the same, except that one of them has one more instrument on it than the other one. Is it possible, with a wave editor or any software, to do a substraction between the two files, in order to extract the additional instrument? Thanks!! -- Max —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.190.170.143 ( talk) 03:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC).
i can not seem to figure out how to stretch or center a desktop backround picture with the vista OS. I can not find the option on the display menu like i was able to with XP. Is there a new way to do it now.-- logger 04:23, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I need a Bot (or something) to detect and undo a certain specific kind of vandalism on the article for Florida. A certain vandal (or vandals) with changing IP addresses keep vandalizing the page using one specific inappropriate word. S/he comes back every couple of days to re-vandalize the page with the same word: "penis". I can't think of any reason that this word should ever appear in the article, so I think it should be automatically blocked/reverted. Can this be done, and if yes, can someone add it to the Florida article? Semi-protection has been tried several times, and the vandal just waits for the SP to be removed and then continues vandalizing in the same way, but always using the same word. -- Britcom 05:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Whenever I type ` or \ sometimes the seach at the bottom pops up. Then on another sessions this will never happen. Then it comes back again. Can't find any option for it and I am very confused to how I am enabling/disabling it.-- Dacium 05:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I have no problem accessing FTP sites from the command line in Windows XP and did not have any problems previously accessing FTP sites using Internet Explorer but now since about six weeks ago no matter what I try all I get from IE when I try to access an FTP site is an IE screen message that says: "...IE can not display the webpage." What is going on and how can I restore FTP access under IE? Nocternal 07:40, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi I got a new SONY laptop with windows vista preloaded into it, and since I cant gain access to my music files is there a way if I can take the songs out of my iPod and put them into my laptop? Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.78.44.150 ( talk) 09:05, 5 March 2007 (UTC).
yeah, if you open My Computer (or whatever its called in Vista now...) and open up your iPod, then go to tools, folder options then show hidden files and folders. All your music is in the folder called iPod control then music. If you do a ctrl + F for all music files on your iPod it will(should) show them all. They'll all have odd four letter file names though, but iTunes will open with them with all the right names and artwork etc. Jackacon 22:36, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
We are trying to develop a simple SNMP application which will query the HP printers in our network about the status of paper, toner etc and display it on screen. Can anyone help me with the list of MIB object IDs for HP (HP 4300 series) printers (like which OID gets changed when the toner goes low, which OID changes when the tray runs out of paper etc)? I downloaded the MIBs from the HP site but it does not give what I want. (for example, it does not tell me which OID to look for, to find the status of paper in tray 1, or which OID gets changed when the paper is jammed) -- WikiCheng | Talk 10:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I was wondering, is there any possible way to plug a guitar amp into a TV? I don't know whether TVs have a plug-in big enough for the chord required but it'd be nice... Jk31213 16:23, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to plug the amp in because they're better than speakers. Amps are BUILT to withstand noise. Speakers are just for volume generally. Don't assume, by the way, that i'll have a guitar plugged into it. I just want the amp only. Think about it, you could increase bass, treble all in knobs!! And the chord would be normal for wut u would normally plug into a guitar, only a tv. I cant believe no one's ever thought of this before!!! Jk31213 19:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

If the guitar amp is has line level inputs, then you could run a cord from RCA outs on the TV, or even headphone out. I haven't messed around with too many guitar amps, i'd keep the volume and gain down and adjust everything gradually. By the way, stereophonic sound and flat response from 40 Hz (or so) to 20 khz is best. 172.131.169.29 12:38, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I signed my brother up for an MSN account on my laptop, to get it done quickly. I then decided to start using MSN myself again, and signed him out and me in. The problem now is that every time I start up my laptop, or select the MSN icon, it automatically signs me in as him, meaning I have to sign out (hoping that none of his friends are online and spotting me!) and sign back in. I've tried deleting my cookies, I never selected to automatically sign in, nothing I've tried has stopped it automatically signing his account in. It doesn't even ask for his password, and I can't find a setting to make it! What to do?
Oh, I'm running a very basic version of MSN,(4.7.3001) the one that came with my copy of Windows XP. I'm running XP on a laptop. I don't know what else would be useful. Please help! Thanks.

I always try to put compatible formats for video on my PSP.I tried a compatible format on my PSP and when it is on my PSP, it always counts the compatible format as Corruptible Data. Will someone help? LongGoneVista 18:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I've very good at ripping music onto my computer, but some music is out of my reach, because it is impossible to find a way to silence other background noises while recording the music. I've researched Google many times, and have found many Audio Software products, but none of them list information about features that allow a user to rip music without sound FX; thus I've hesitated to purchase them. What I NEED is an Audio Software that can provide some way to turn off specific audio material, (such as speech, sound FX, narrating, etc.), and record the music only. Since some Video Games, and most DVDs don't have audio options, the audio software must be able to rip/extract pure music by simply reading the DVD or Video Game Disc. If somebody could provide [and guarantee] me information about software that can do this, it would make my life! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.32.2.1 ( talk) 19:00, 5 March 2007 (UTC).

How do I, in Bash and using cat and date, do the following:
Read stdin and write it to a file whose name is the output from date?
Even better, how do I do this but also have the name of the file have some text (e.g. "Please read: ") stuck before or after the date?
Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.194.21.177 ( talk) 22:02, 5 March 2007 (UTC).
OK, I actually just figured this out - am doing:
cat > "Please read: `date`"
So another question: how do I do the same thing but have the output from date plus an extra newline at the top of the file? I can do it now by doing:
date > "Please read: `date`" && cat >> Ple*
But that's cheating - referring back to the file using *. How should I be doing this?
Thanks. -- 87.194.21.177 22:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
(date && cat) > "Please read: `date`"
You can give also date a format (see man date) that will make it nicer-looking and easier to do shell-scripting on without having to monkey with spaces and such. A style like the one below has the advantage that an alphanumeric sort is also a chronological sort. --TotoBaggins 02:26, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
